Fibroid Health

Lap scheduled for Tuesday-Scared of Surgery.?

This will be my first surgery. I’m having laparoscopic surgery on Tuesday to remove a fibroid and cysts. I don’t think I’m scared of what will happen during the surgery because I
have a lot of confidence in my doctor. I’m just scared of being put to sleep (the anesthesia). I don’t know what to expect. Maybe I’m scared that I may not wake up or something. How long does the surgery usually take and any other advice would be great. My pre-op appointment with my doctor is not until Monday so I have not really talked to him a whole lot about my anxiety.

anesthesia works different on everyone. some people get nauseated, some sleepy, some laugh, i cried. you shouldn’t feel or remember anything. as far as length, sounds like a 2 hour procedure… sometimes shorter sometimes longer depending on the case. usually before they wheel you in to the procedure you have to sign consents, there is where you ask questions. the registration staff (if they’re not busy), the nurses… even the doctor. ask stuff like, what should i expect when i wake up, what are some reactions to anesthesia (or you can use webmd). good luck! hope all goes well.
